The Humanist Hour #217: Vic Wang and Benita Malone on Humanists of Houston

The Humanists of Houston are American Humanist Association’s largest local chapter and they’re on pace to become the largest secular movement Meetup group very shortly. They’ve achieved that growth largely through reaching out to groups that we don’t often see at humanist meetings, through executing strategies that some people try to tell us will drive people away.

This week, Vic Wang, president of Humanists of Houston, and Benita Malone, volunteer coordinator, join the Humanist Hour to talk about embracing diversity and social justice, making meetings and volunteer opportunities welcoming to younger members, implementing a code of conduct, and adopting a transparency that’s radical for local groups.

The Humanist Hour is a monthly one-hour talk show produced by the American Humanist Association. Co-hosted by Peggy Knudtson and Jenn Wilson, every episode explores a different area of humanist thought, from politics to pop culture. Learn more about The Humanist Hour here.
